Bibliography
Jennifer Kling argues that war refugees suffer a series of wrongs and oppressions and so are owed restitution and aid-as a matter of justice-by socio political institutions. She makes the case that they should be viewed differently than migrants but that their circumstances do not wholly alleviate their own moral responsibilities.
